Jiah Medrano (defence/midfield)

Paul Holleran fought off competition from Warwickshire rivals Nuneaton Borough to sign Jiah, who quickly became a firm favourite of the Brakes support with his desire to make things happen on the pitch and his infectious enthusiasm.

Having played for Nuneaton on dual registration the previous season, the versatile youngster was all set to return to the wrong corner of God’s County, until Hollers stepped in to persuade him that joining Leamington would be a better move, and his prophecy turned out to be correct, as Jiah ended the season with a promotion winners medal.

Previously with Yeovil Town academy and then at Step 4 with Shepshed Dynamo prior to joining Brakes in summer 2023, the 21 year old will be determined to increase his involvement this season as he gets his first taste of Step 2 football.
